Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has expressed concerns at the alarming rate which illegal immigrants pass through the nation’s land borders to perpetrate crime in the country.
Akeredolu raised the concern on Tuesday in Akure when playing host to Mrs Dora Amahian, Zonal
Coordinator, Nigeria Immigration Service, Zone F, comprising Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti States.
The governor said that Nigerians would be shocked to know the number of illegal immigrants who daily come into the country through the land borders.
He said that there was a need for urgent action to tackle the issue of illegal foreigners becoming permanent residents of the country.
“Something has to be done. A number of criminal activities in our forest reserves are being perpetrated by foreigners. We are facing serious security challenges.
” I don’t know if you can face the challenge. I am not too sure your efforts alone can be sufficient. There is the need for collaboration with other security agencies. Peace is what we are talking about in the
country,” he said.
Earlier, Assistant Comptroller General (ACG) Dora Amahian had appreciated Akeredolu for sustaining the cordial relationship with the immigration service in the state.
She said recent events had shown that security was not an exclusive preserve of any group or individual,
“rather, it is inclusive of all and sundry”.

“As an arm of the nation’s security architecture and first line security agency, we are soliciting for your
continuous partnership to facilitate our efforts at ensuring a secured and peaceful state,” Amahian said.
The ACG appealed to the Ondo State government to support the service with provision of land to build its state command headquarters and patrol vehicles to enable it carryout surveillance, particularly around border communities in the state.
She also solicited the support of the media in the area of advocacy to disseminate information to
educate Nigerians on their roles to protect the country’s territorial integrity. (NAN)

Bubu told them to come. That's why you see them around.

The togolese , and Ghanaians here are well behaved and follow due process to settle in lagos, but the north is too porous ,

Silvernorgold, ngpatriot, helineus. We're going to deal seriously with your Fulani terrorist. Never in their life will they attack yorubas

Shocked by what? No sane Nigerians shocked, surprise or unaware of the grave deteriorating widespread insecurity across this nation as is the trademark of the govt on seat.

So abeg Arakurin Aketi should kindly stop insulting the sensibility of Nigerians with all these rhetorics.Why he is not bold enough to called them the fulani herdsmen terrorists that Bubu promised them free point-of-entry visa access hence the porosity of our borders?

This is what happens when leaders plays politics with lives.Now the sovereignty of a nation have been compromised.Make una continue.

Racoon:

Arakurin is just acting smart. Don't worry we're calculating things. The fulanis thinks they can outsmart us.
We go shock them, if any politician from southwest talk rubbish it will be danger for such person.
